Standing Sprays and Wreaths for Reading Funeral Services

Standing sprays and wreaths are among the most traditional funeral flower arrangements. These designs are often sent by close family members, relatives, friends, coworkers, or organizations and are usually displayed near the casket, urn, altar, or memorial table.

Popular choices include all-white standing sprays, red and white sprays, blue and white sympathy flowers, soft pastel arrangements, patriotic tributes, colorful celebration-of-life sprays, hearts, crosses, and circular wreaths.

Floor Baskets and Pedestal Arrangements

Floor baskets and pedestal arrangements are beautiful choices for funeral homes, churches, memorial services, and family gatherings. These arrangements offer a full, elegant presentation without requiring an easel and can be placed near the front of the service, beside a guest book table, or near a memorial display.

Many customers choose floor baskets when they want something substantial and respectful but not as formal as a standing spray.

Tabletop Sympathy Flowers for the Family

Tabletop sympathy arrangements are appropriate for funeral homes, churches, homes, offices, and post-service gatherings. These flowers can be displayed at the service and then taken home by the family afterward.

Tabletop sympathy flowers are often chosen by friends, neighbors, coworkers, and extended family members who want to send a thoughtful expression of care.

Urn Tributes and Cremation Flowers

For cremation services, Ward’s Florist designs urn tributes, cremation wreaths, floral rings, garlands, and tabletop memorial arrangements. These flowers help create a beautiful and meaningful setting around an urn, photograph, candle, or memory table.

Cremation flowers can be designed in traditional whites and greens, soft pastels, bright seasonal colors, or a personalized palette that reflects the person being remembered.

Sympathy Plants Delivered to Reading

Sympathy plants are a lasting gift that can be sent to a funeral service or directly to the family’s home. Popular sympathy plants include peace lilies, dish gardens, blooming plants, green plants, orchids, and European plant baskets.

Plants are often chosen when families prefer something that can continue growing after the service as a lasting reminder of love and support.

Flowers to Send to a Home in Reading After a Loss

Not every sympathy arrangement needs to be sent to the funeral home. Many customers choose to send flowers or plants directly to a family’s home in Reading after the services are over.

A home sympathy bouquet, plant, or dish garden can be especially meaningful in the days and weeks following a loss, when the family may still need comfort and support.

Popular Sympathy Flower Colors

Ward’s Florist can design funeral flowers in many color palettes, depending on the family’s preferences and the tone of the service.

• All white: peaceful, classic, elegant, and traditional
• Red and white: love, respect, and remembrance
• Blue and white: calm, peaceful, and often chosen for men’s services
• Pink and white: soft, loving, and gentle
• Lavender and purple: graceful, spiritual, and comforting
• Yellow and white: warm, hopeful, and uplifting
• Bright mixed colors: often chosen for celebration-of-life services
